Another skating season is upon us, and with it another round of virulent Scott Hamilton-bashing on the skating message boards. Since he started commentating, it has apparently been declared unwritten law that we go through this every year. EVERY. FREAKING. YEAR. It is utterly incomprehensible to me how these people could have put up with Dick "Please will you shut up about irrelevant inanities for JUST ONE SECOND FOR THE LOVE OF HEAVEN!" Button for all the time he was on, but hate Scott with the heat of a thousand suns because he gets carried away with enthusiasm. Give me excited yelling over an unending stream of verbal diarrhea any day. (Sorry for the mental image.)

If they'd just state their objections and be done, I'd be fine with it, but they, in their turn, cannot shut up about it. It's more than just a preference; it feels like there's a real streak of malice underlying it that bothers me.

Ah well. Thus endeth a fruitless complaint about something that will never change, but I just had to get it off my chest before the next competition and the next wave of hatred begin.
